The guy is also a massive neo Nazi, who was thrown out of Germany and banned from the entire Schengen area.
Support Ukraine. Fuck Nazis.

Whenever the term Nazi is brought up in connection with Ukrainians it’s usually the Russian definition of a Nazi:
A person resisting the invasion and subjugation of their country by Russia.

Or, you know, a Russian nationalist, who wants a Russia only for ethnic russians, trained Swiss right wing militias and had a clothing label endorsing the 14 words, black sun and 88.
We call someone like that a Nazi.

This time the accusation seems to be legit though. It just harms Ukraine's cause when even in genuine cases it is denied.

Do you have any sources for this? Just curious to read them myself.

To be fair, putting him on the frontline risking his life for a just cause is about the best use you can make of a Nazi. He gets to do what he's trained for his whe life and we don't have to mourn the loss of a beloved community member if he dies.

And hopefully HUR can whack him if he gets too successful.
A foreign power propping up a militant to destabilize their enemy can work, or have massive unintended consequences. Refer to Lenin being sent to Tsarist Russia on a sealed train.
